Me on the other hand I am looking to upgrade mine to a double din unit.

Does anyone know how to get the climate control unit out of the bezel?

^This.^

I just bought myself an Alpine S920HD after getting tired of the boring stock head unit. Before I just had an aux input and no other features. Now I have nav, hd radio, bluetooth, and much more. I am going to add sirius and a rear view camera next. IMO its not worth it to mess around with the stock unit when it is cheaper to just replace it with something much better.
